Library to close in preparation for move

Library patrons surf the Internet and work on homework at the Lansing Community Library, 108 S. Second St. The library is moving from its location at Lansing Community Building to its new, larger space across the street from City Hall.

The public is invited to the grand reopening of Lansing Community Library and the burying of a city time capsule at 10 a.m. Tuesday, July 14, at the library’s new location, 730 First Terrace.

The new Community Library will feature a much larger area for the print collection, public access computers, computers for children and a community room for public meetings.

Lansing Community Library at 108 S. Second St. will close permanently at 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 8, to facilitate the move into the new location. The library’s collection is being moved with the help of a local Boy Scout.

The Lansing 2009 time capsule will feature items from the city and the community at-large and will be buried just outside the south side of the library. Current plans call for the excavation and opening of this time capsule in 2059.
